Creates a new component by grouping other components. Select any object to include it in the group. When an external database is used, a new record is added to the appropriate table.

You must also select the component type for the group in the command line:

  • I - Instrument

  • VA - Valve

  • ME - Mechanical

  • N - Nozzle

  • R - Reducer

  • MI - Miscellaneous

  • VE - Vessel

  • U - User

A typical group is made from individual components created using Components Icon Components. For example, a cylinder and two head components are grouped to create a new vessel. For more information, see Components.

  • A new group cannot be made from an existing group or components in an existing group. To add components to an existing group, use Add to Group .

  • When a group is selected using Edit , it behaves according to the component type of the group.
